LUCY WILLIAMSON URQUHART

   Miss Lucy Williamson Urquhart, 82, prominently connected throughout the 
county and state, died Monday morning, September 24, at the Portsmouth 
Convalescent Home after a long illness.

   She was the daughter of the late William and Julia Goodwin Urquhart of 
Southampton County, and is survived by cousins only.  She was a faithful 
member of St. Luke’s Episcopal Church in Courtland.

   Miss Urquhart lived at "Charlie’s Hope" plantation, the ancestral family 
home near Sebrell, until forced by ill health to leave.  She was the last 
member of her family, her sisters, Misses Lou, Annie and Pattie Urquhart 
passing away in the order named some years ago.

   The gracious hospitality of "Charlie’s Hope" will long be remembered by 
relatives, neighbors and friends of "Miss Lucy."  The house with its spacious 
grounds and ancient oak and other shade trees made an ideal setting for the 
many picnics, squirrel muddles, and other enjoyable gatherings that were 
events in the neighborhood.

   Funeral services were conducted Tuesday afternoon at 2 o’clock in St. 
Luke’s Church by the rector, Rev. John M. Gessell, and Rev. John A. Gray of 
Richmond, a cousin and former rector.  Burial was in the family lot in 
Riverside Cemetery.

   The pallbearers were T.R. Adkins, A.E. Briggs, Franklin Edwards, L.M. 
Manry, Bogart Pretlow, Dr. E. F. Reese, Jr., R.R. Reese and C.G. Ridley.
